THE MAJESTIC DISTANT MOUNTAINS

The majestic distant mountains,

Timeless sentinels, pale in the mist

Reach up to the sky like children

Expectantly waiting to be kissed 

IN THE GLOW OF FIRELIGHT

In the glow of firelight        

I admire the stark beauty

Of the winter landscape

Beyond the frosty panes

Safe by the cosy fireside 

WINTER MAGIC

 

Under the star filled winter sky

Moonlight illuminates the vale

Magically glinting on Icicles

And the crystals of icy rime

WHITE VALLEY

 

Viewed through frosted panes

The valley was bathed in moonlight

And like a ribbon of pure white silk

The road crossed the silent scene

 

LITTLE BIRD BRING TO US

 

Little bird bring to us

Your sweet song

Bring it cheerily

With the spring

To the woodland

And to the meadow

And with your

Sweet melody

Usher in another

Blessed summer

 

FLAME TREES

 

Flame trees in the jungle

Petals like tongues of fire

Burning bright in paradise

THE RED SQUIRREL

 

The red squirrel

Cute arboreal character

Once abundant in our woodland

Now small in number

Only survive in small pockets

Thanks to the grey intruder
